7 Things This Week [#174]
A weekly list of interesting things I found on the internet, posted on Sundays. Sometimes themed, often not.
1️⃣ Ryan Christoffel’s got a good tip for wrangling AirPods’ noise canceling modes with Shortcuts. [🔗 9to5mac.com]
2️⃣ Matt Birchler made a quick little website to house his quick little tools. [🔗 quickstuff.app]
3️⃣ Jason Snell lists out his favorite titles from Apple TV+ if you’re looking for something else to get your money’s worth from your subscription. I wholeheartedly agree with his recommendations, but I have to add Trying as my underrated favorite. (Dickinson, part of the inaugural lineup, is quite good too, and also rarely gets mentioned.)

4️⃣ Great news for climbing fans! Each climbing discipline at 2028 L.A. Olympics (bouldering, speed climbing, lead climbing) will get their own set of medals! We’ll see more intense competition for sure, seeing as climbers won’t need to be all-rounders and can play to their strength. [🔗 climbing.com]
5️⃣ While technically about climbing gear, this HowNOT2 video does a great job explaining how tariffs affect retailers (and ultimately consumers), how they will have to manage inventory and cash flow, and price products to manage. At 14 minutes, I think it’s well-worth your time. [▶️ youtube.com]
6️⃣ If you’re like me and “discovered” Benson Boone from his recent viral performance at the Grammys(?), I think you’ll enjoy this video of his debut auditioning for American Idol back in the day. [▶️ youtube.com]
7️⃣ Warren Buffet’s shareholder letter for Berkshire Hathaway reads like no other big business document. John Gruber pulled out some prescient passages that stuck with me. [🔗 daringfireball.net]
